The Women’s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh is set to receive $12 million in tax credits to help with some much needed improvements to the centers building.

Governor Tom Wolf announced Wednesday that Commonwealth Cornerstone Group (CCG) has completed $5 million in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) that will allow all three floors of the 38,000-square-foot building to be updated, allow the shelter to expand and enhance its programs for abused women and their children.

Pittsburgh City Councilman Dan Gilman (District 8) announced a new partnership Tuesday afternoon between ride-sharing company Uber and the Women’s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh to provide free ride for victims of domestic violence needing to get to safe shelter.

“As Pittsburgh moves to a new economy and brings in new economic partners, we have to work together to also recognize the importance of corporate and social responsibility and making sure that we’re reaching out to the people of our communities when they need it most,” said the Councilman. “This partnership will enable victims to arrive at the shelter safely and free of charge.”
